Thanks Dr. House - all your suggestions sound wonderful! I can't wait to give them a try.

Yeah, I'm trying to vision the look of the room. If you have a pic you can give us the link to the picture, or use the image tag in front and at the end of the link. [img] link to picture [/img]

Also, how do you have the settings on the sub and receiver for the speakers and sub? You most likely will want all speakers set to "small" with a crossover of 80hz to start. Sub crossover knob should be bypassed, or cranked all the way to the highest setting, since the receiver is handling the bass management.

BK, welcome. You'll certainly enjoy the sounds that your Axioms will reveal to you, and to make your first music experience especially enjoyable I'd strongly suggest that you put on Holst's The Planets, preferably the versions by Mehta or Dutoit.

Steve, since your room isn't square or nearly so, the first spot that should be considered for the sub location is behind a main speaker directly in the corner which is farther from a large opening(doorway, etc.). The corner will excite all the room modes and give the strongest and smoothest response for a single sub.

I would also suggest, re what music to play, a couple of good acoustic cd's such as James Taylor or Gordon Lightfoot. Acoustic guitars really sound very natural on my Ax's.
